Book Review of I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

Interesting book. I wish I had read it rather than listened to the audio version. I did not like hearing the author reading it at all. She paused and emphasized her way through it as if each sentence was THE most important thing you'd hear and don't you forget it. The content went from boring (hair, neck, purse - I'm of an age to be happy to be alive, flabby neck notwithstanding) to entertaining (I live 10+ miles from the nearest supermarket so it was amusing hearing someone talk about life being ideal with your grocery store, pharmacy and dry cleaner all within 2 blocks of your 8 room apartment) to insightful and eloquent (thoughts on death - our friends' and our own).
All in all, pearls amid a lot of rambling.
